Smartwatch has been in around for quite awhile and I have always wanted to experience one myself but I haven’t came across a design that I am interested in until recently when SKAGEN introduced me to their new collection of SKAGEN Falster Smartwatch. I must admit that I am not a gadget enthusiast but I do love watches. Thus, the fact that SKAGEN Falster Smartwatch combines technology with stylish design fascinates me and I made a trip to see how this new stylish smartwatch becomes my new helpful assistant.

The very first perk that I realized is that I can receive notifications/messages from my WhatsApp and emails. I can prioritise my important messages while enjoying my brunch before my meetings. So don’t blame me if I don’t reply all of the messages when I have a busy day ahead! The bonus is that I can see the messages and the senders wouldn’t know that I’ve read them! 😛 Yes, it is also a touchscreen smartwatch!

I love the minimal design of this smartwatch, its simplicity goes well with any of my outfit. This collection comes with interchangeable leather straps or mesh straps. I never wanted a smartwatch that would make me look geeky and this is definitely not one of those!

I do use a fitness tracker when I hit the gym (especially when I’m doing the cardio exercises) but I never wore it casually because they don’t really look the part with my outfits or for my meetings. But now I can finally track my steps/calories burnt for the day while keeping my outfit on point. I’m not sorry to be a perfectionist! It helps my performance when I dress well, therefore every small detail is vital for me. This intelligent device would definitely make me fitter over time as I can set my own goal for the daily steps – no more excuse for not walking my doggie!

I love a power nap on a busy day, or whenever I get the chance. I always use my phone to set the alarm but the phone has always been a distraction (even during my sleep time in the night) as I have the tendency to wake up and check my phone apps. Now this is a handy little tool to wake me up from my nap with its vibrating function.

There are other features of the SKAGEN Falster Smartwatch such as the world clock with different time-zones and music control. I love the weather forecast display where I can check the weather/temperature before I head out. I’m quite a lazy person when it comes to checking weather before I go out and I always regret for not doing so as I wouldn’t take my umbrella out on a rainy day! It’s much more convenient to have it on a default display with the smartwatch. In addition, I can also personalize the watch face with my choice of dial colour or font colour according to my mood/outfit! It is actually very fun and refreshing to see it happening with a single watch.

Braun seamlessly combines design and fusion for products that are intuitive and satisfying to use. The new Braun Beard, Hair and Body Styling Range allows unparalleled styling possibilities for precision styling from head to toe.

As a fashionista and a gentleman myself, I pay a lot of attention to the design of all the products that I use. The design is equally as important as the function in my perspective. The new range from Braun has definitely achieved it with its versatile function and the masculine aesthetic.

The Braun Body Groomer is the perfect tool for a groomed look from head to toe. It can be used to trim, shave and maintain all over your body, even down under as the body groomer sensitive comb, ensures
your delicate areas are under safe trimmers.

• The 2-in-1 functionality means the product can trim and clean-shave body hair in one movement, for a grooming routine that is fast and hassle-free
• Works in the shower for added comfort and convenience
• A charging stand ensures the body groomer is always charged and ready

The Braun Hair Clipper has ultrasharp secured blades for high performance, which are lifetime lasting for ultimate hair clipping.

• With two smart trimming attachments, and 17 precise length settings, it can be used to customise a huge variety of styles (an extra short setting can be used without the comb)
• The Memory SafetyLock system that remembers the last length setting used, even after the attachment is removed
• Because it can be used corded or cordlessly it never runs out of power
• Fully washable for easy cleaning

The Braun Precision Trimmer has two trimming combs to provide flexible, precise trimming and create precise styles down to the very last millimetre.

The 5mm comb – an extra small trimming element that defines sharp lines – ensures a consistent, tidy trim time and time again, and the 8mm comb ensures that longer facial hair remains perfectly groomed.

I hate ironing my clothes ever since I remember. I hate the hassle of getting out the ironing board, get out the heavy iron from my cupboard, arrange my clothes on the ironing board to make sure it’s flat and ready, the entire process seems to be so long-winded. Finally I was introduced to this Tarvel Steamer Cirrus by The Steamery, I considered myself very lucky! This is one of the best product I’ve ever came across with. It actually does make me feel that this chore is much easier now.

The fact that it is portable and I can take it with me for a business trip/weekend getaway, it is just a perfect way to keep my clothes wrinkles free wherever I go! It starts up in 20-25 seconds. High temperature, pressurized steam delivered on the press of a button. 6 min of on demand steam per refill. And it also comes with a travel pouch that can be used as the ‘ironing board’! I just love it so much!

If you are worried about sensitive fabrics as light silk, fine fibre blends and wool, you can clip on the included fabric brush. That gives you a little extra space between the steamer and the fabric and its also good for removing hair, dust and minor stains.
